The embattled leader of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria (IMN), Sheikh Ibrahim El-Zakzaky, will today leave the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, to India for medical treatment.
The Kaduna State High court had last week granted El-Zakzaky and his wife leave to undergo treatment at an Indian hospital of their choice.
According to the ruling, the couple are to return for the continuation of their trial after their discharge from the hospital.
The Punch reports that El-Zakzaky and his wife, Zeenat, have arrived at the airport in preparation for their flight to Medenta Hospital, New Delhi, India for medical treatment.

The IMN Spokesman, Ibrahim Musa, confirming the development, said “the Sheikh has arrived at the airport with his wife for their trip to India. They would be leaving in the next few hours.”
It was learnt that they would be travelling on a privately chartered aircraft.
When asked if the IMN leader fulfilled the conditions imposed by the Kaduna State Government, Musa explained that he had no information on it.
